This proved to be the challenge of the year with a rear garden of a 1st floor flat backing onto a ground floor shop.The slabs had to be lifted, cleaned off and stacked away from area, the ground leveled with all the excess soil placed up on the raised flower bed (then leveled) held back with newly inserted sleepers bolted to the floor.
The materials had to be bought in down a narrow passageway promptly to leave the pathway clear at the front of the shop.
The slabs were re-laid on compacted sub-base and a wet sand and cement mortar base; and the raised flower bed was covered with weed suppressant membrane and covered in 20mm gravel.
The old sewer drain; which had not been correctly sealed in the past; collapsed; but after quick intervention was correctly sealed and made good.
